Some of the most well-known news websites and social platforms have opted out of Apple Intelligence training, preventing Applebot from scraping data.
Apple Intelligence is now accessible to users around the world, with a broader rollout planned for later this year. The AI toolkit is also expected to be the selling point for the upcoming iPhone 16 series. However, Apple’s efforts to make a big splash with Apple Intelligence are already hobbled by major websites and social platforms that are blocking Apple’s AI bot from scraping data.
As reported by Wired, a while ago, Apple revealed a tool for publishers to let them opt out of the company’s AI training program. This means Apple’s AI bot can no longer scrap data for training purposes. The impact is profound, with some of the biggest news websites and social platforms opting out of the Apple AI program, thereby impacting the landscape of Apple AI development.
